5-Color Proprietary Spoon-in-Lid Jar ($0 Mold Fee = Save $7,000) vs. Traditional Glass Jar & Separate Spoon Packaging
Launching a viscous botanical paste in traditional heavy glass jars creates three severe B2B bottlenecks: high breakage rates in e-commerce fulfillment, sticky unhygienic consumer spoon dipping, and $7,000+ (¥50,000) custom cap injection mold fees. YONG FOOD opens its proprietary 5-color Spoon-in-Lid Jar (integrated folding/snap spoon sealed inside a dual-deck dust-proof lid above an electromagnetic aluminum-foil induction liner) to OEM buyers with $0 mold fee from 1,000 units—cutting freight weight by 68% and eliminating transit breakage.

Why Secondary Water Contamination Ruins Glass-Jar Herbal Pastes After Opening
Even when a botanical electuary is cooked to Aw = 0.642, consumers dipping a wet kitchen spoon into a standard jar introduce free water droplets (`Aw = 1.00`) onto the paste surface, triggering localized mold within 10 days. Our integrated dry-compartment spoon ensures consumers always scoop with a dedicated, clean, dry utensil.
Single-Roof Dual-SC (1701 + 1801) Line Segregation & Allergen Zoning for Compare Color Spoon Lid Jar Zero
Specifically engineered for 5-Color Proprietary Spoon-in-Lid Jar ($0 Mold Fee = Save $7,000) vs. Traditional Glass Jar & Separate Spoon Packaging, batch ticket XY261127 executes inside our Longhai, Zhangzhou facility (SC11735060413289) with dedicated inline weighing tolerances of ±0.15%. Rather than relying on generic co-packing pre-mixes, raw Fujian Chuliang/6A longan arils, high-mountain Luoping ginger rhizomes, Jianning core-removed lotus seeds, or Longyan red-skin peanuts undergo optical color-sorting and near-infrared moisture screening before entering the thermal zone. Across Botanical Food OEM/ODM production runs, operators log real-time Brix, core temperature, and vacuum pressure every 15 minutes to prevent caramelization overshoot or lipid oxidation.
